Perry SleeperSecure Support Spike - Stainless Steel

Its main purpose is to provide a strong, corrosion-resistant support for a single layer of railway sleepers, commonly used for garden edging, planters, and low-level beds.

No, this spike is specifically designed for single-layer sleeper layouts and is not suitable for constructing multi-tier structures.

Oak sleepers contain acidic tannins that can react with standard steel, causing black staining. This spike is made from A2/304 Grade Stainless Steel, which is resistant to this reaction, preventing staining and corrosion.

For a typical rectangular planter, you would generally need two spikes for each sleeper at the ends, and potentially one in the middle for longer sleepers, depending on desired stability.

The spike is made from A2/304 Grade Stainless Steel, which offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion in outdoor environments.

The spike is designed with an extra shear angle and grip notches, making it suitable for various ground types, providing good stability.

Hammer the spike until it is firmly seated in the ground and provides solid support for the sleeper. The depth will vary depending on your ground conditions.

Ensure the ground is adequately moist. If the ground is extremely hard or rocky, consider pre-drilling a pilot hole or choosing a different location.

Verify that the spike is fully driven into the ground and is flush against the sleeper. Ensure adequate spike placement along the length of the sleeper (e.g., every 1-1.5 meters).

This product is designed to prevent discoloration from Oak tannins. If discoloration occurs, ensure the spike is correctly positioned and making firm contact with the sleeper. If the issue persists, check the grade of the sleeper and the spike's material.
